Neith, a Sicarii Knight, is one of a specially evolved race bound to the will of The Hierarch - an omnipotent wise man who dictates the workings of the universe. His newest assignment is to assassinate a Scavenger, who The Hierarch has determined will bring about the destruction of the planet Taylor. This Scavenger, a downtrodden orphan boy stuck in the service of a cruel trade magnate, has no knowledge of his providence, but will, if unfettered, spiral into a state from which he can never recover, sealing the fate of millions.

The second published novel from author Tony Del Degan is his first foray into the wide world of science-fiction; it is endearing, disturbing, and entirely unique, providing a possible glimpse into the future of our human race: a violent, disturbing vestige.
